I've recently discovered and become a massive fan of Jimmy Smith.
Picked up a copy of his 'Hoochie Coochie Man' LP at the record store today. Hammond organ, full orchestra, blues. 100% pure stank face.
Comes in with the organ at 1:05. Just... damn...
In reply to Beer Baron :
Jimmy Smith is an absolute legend. Check out "The Cat".
David Lowery sure can write wistful songs, and Johnny Hickman can nail wistful solos on his old Telecaster:
Mario Kart 8 sound track and the flooring guys' air compressor.

Working from home.... lol.
Revisiting some of my '90s favorites today.
This is far and away the best Pumpkins album of them all - the one where they found their full sound, but before Billy Corgan's ego took over every aspect of the band's existence.
This album is 50 years old today. Still one of the top 20 albums ever produced:
Driving back from the Y a few days ago, my teenage son played this on the car stereo from his phone and whatever magical musical streaming service the cool kids are using these days. I find that I can actually listen to some of his music, but I think this is the first song that really got my attention to the point where I had to look it up and thinking about buying a vinyl record of it, if such a thing exists. Or maybe an 8-track tape. 
The apltly-named Volume 2, second album by The Sound Defects, which was effectively one guy from Indianapolis. He put out three fantastic albums, then decided family time was more important, and quit. But they are fantastic records. The first, Volume 1, is NLA anywhere. This is the second. The first two were largely samples, with some live tracks overdubbed.
The third album is The Iron Horse - it's the soundtrack to a nonexistent movie project. The third album is 100% sampled.
More sample-heavy stuff, this time from Budapest - absolutely worth a listen:

Hey! WNRN is one of my presets.
Went on a little eary/mid 00's kick yesterday thanks to an earworm.
These few were songs I hadn't heard in quite a while.
So I started the evening with Black & Tan:
And now finishing with a nice Bordeaux:
In the meantime we had the kids over for dinner (and Charlie the Beagle). Jason has a stressful job so he had a couple Black & Tans and a couple glasses of wine to unwind. Annie made dinner and everybody was happy. Mission accomplished. 
Haven't posted anything in here in a while. Some recent electro albums I've acquired/put on the shopping list:

Ran across this guy who does an interesting mix of rap and industrial:
New favorite bass testing track:
Manly breakup song with a video that will give you a wet...nightmare?
